It is designed for vehicles, boats, caravans and off-grid equipment where a compact, weatherproof charger is needed. The IP65 rating means it can be used in damp or dusty environments without additional protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBluetooth built-in: monitor and adjust charge settings via the VictronConnect app on iOS or Android, no dongle required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP65 rated enclosure: protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, suitable for engine bays, lockers and outdoor installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeven-stage adaptive charging algorithm: bulk, absorption, float, storage, recondition and two equalisation modes for thorough battery conditioning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with lead-acid battery types including GEL, AGM, enhanced flooded (EFB) and conventional flooded, as well as lithium LiFePO4 batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStorage mode automatically reduces float voltage after 24 hours to minimise battery wear during long-term storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUK BS 1363 mains plug fitted as standard, ready to use from a standard UK socket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.647 kg, making it straightforward to install in confined spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blue Smart IP65 12\/4 connects directly to a standard UK mains socket via its BS 1363 plug. Once connected, the VictronConnect app gives full visibility of the charge cycle in real time, including voltage, current, charge state and any fault conditions. Settings such as battery type and charge algorithm can be adjusted wirelessly without opening the unit or accessing a physical interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe seven-stage charging process is more thorough than a basic two or three-stage charger. The recondition mode applies a controlled overcharge to recover stratified or mildly sulphated lead-acid batteries. The storage mode is particularly useful for seasonal vehicles: after 24 hours in float, the charger drops to a lower maintenance voltage and periodically tops the battery back up, reducing grid consumption and prolonging battery life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 4A output, this charger is suited to batteries in the 14Ah to 100Ah range. It is not intended for rapid charging of large battery banks. For higher capacity applications, Victron offers the 12\/7, 12\/15 and 12\/25 variants in the same IP65 range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BPC120433024R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutput voltage: 12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutput current: 4A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of outputs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInput: 230V AC, UK BS 1363 plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP rating: IP65\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.647 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076044604\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintaining and charging 12V batteries in cars, motorcycles and campervans during storage or regular use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharging leisure batteries in caravans, motorhomes and narrowboats from a shore power connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeeping 12V batteries topped up in off-grid cabins, garden buildings and remote equipment enclosures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorkshop or garage use where a compact, plug-in charger is needed for multiple small battery types.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine applications where moisture resistance is required in battery compartments or deck lockers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVictron Blue Smart IP65 12\/4 charger with integrated UK BS 1363 mains plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDC output cable with ring terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis charger connects to a standard 230V UK mains socket and requires no specialist electrical installation for basic use. Ensure the DC output cables are correctly rated for the connection distance and that ring terminals are securely fastened to the battery posts. Verify battery chemistry before selecting a charge profile in VictronConnect, as an incorrect profile can damage lithium cells. For installations in vehicles or marine craft where the charger is permanently wired, connection by a qualified auto-electrician or marine electrician is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60227814785358,"sku":"BPC120433024R","price":59.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BPC120433024R_-_Blue_Smart_IP65s_Charger_12-4_1_230V_UK_Retail.webp?v=1785164963","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-blue-smart-ip65-charger-12v-4a-uk","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
